Wooden Dolls

designed by Alexander Girard

Alexander Girard was one of the decisive figures in post-War American design, alongside
Charles and Ray Eames as well as George Nelson. The focus of his broad oeuvre
was on textile design, and a key source of inspiration for him was his passion
for the popular art of South America, Asia and East Europe.The Wooden Dolls,
which Girard created for his own home in Santa Fe and made himself, are
likewise inspired by his own extensive collection of works of popular art.

Ausstellungskatalog

Alexander Girard A Designer's Universe

Alexander Girard (1907–1993) was one of the most important modern textile artists and interior designers of the twentieth century. He worked closely with designers such as Charles Eames and George Nelson and combined Pop Art and Folk Art influences to create a colourfully opulent aesthetic language, whose impact continues to be felt today. The richly illustrated catalogue draws on the vast holdings in Alexander Girard’s private estate, which were exhaustively investigated for the first time at the Vitra Design Museum.
